You dont need to know a single musical note to create beats or draw melodies using your finger. Annotate your musical ideas, record external sounds directly into the pads to express yourself.

-------------------------
Step Sequencer:
-------------------------
Making beats is easy as drawing and taping boxes to generate unique sequences. Each color is associated to each channel type of pad.

-------------------------
Pitch Keyboard + Editor:
-------------------------
While recording, the notes you play will immediately appear in the editor.
Its easy to make changes and draw free-form to create / delete notes using your finger.

-------------------------
Multi-Touch Mixer:
-------------------------
FingerBeat is built for user experience & live performance.
Create your very own mix.

-------------------------
Pocket Sampler + Kit Edit:
-------------------------
Record any external sound using the built-in microphone.
Or load any existing sounds from the library.

-------------------------
Perform & Sing:
-------------------------
Once you have programmed some patterns, connect to headphones and hear yourself sing over your musical creation. Conveniently change patterns with your thumb.

kII Synth Demonstration

Youtube description - This is a technical demonstration of the kII SpeakJet Application v0.2.4
This might be only interesting for people who want to rebuild this project. Seehttp://www.audiocommander.de/blog/?p=69

The harmonisation features, base-note listening and scale settings are demonstrated at the beginning.
The first part shows synth sounds, with and without Enveloped OSCs and varies combinations of waveforms applied to a subtractive sound-synthesis together with waveforms of the envelope. I know the waveforms are a bit blurry, but one sees when it's changing (there are SINE, SAW, TRIANGLE, SQUARE).

In the late mid-part I am playing the HandTrackerMatrix (seehttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qSiMwp... ) on different channels. CHannels 11 to 16 are experimental and show a work-in-progress. The black bar at the top right shows the quantize value (1/4, 1/8, 1/16 or 1/32 notes).

The first part (synth) is played on a keyboard (microKONTROL), the second part (voice and experimental) on the handtracker sensor matrix.

The project is released as open source (non-commercial!) on http://www.mdidibox.org/

Auduino: DIY Synthesizer

Youtube description - Make a DIY synth. It costs only $50!

Auduino is a granular synthesizer built on the Arduino platform. It was designed by Tinker.it! and published under an open source license. I build one and plugged a stylus controller which was ripped from Gakken SX-150. It works very well. Its sound is dry and crispy, but I think it is not bad for $50. Want one? Do It Yourself!

More details about Auduino is here:

Folktek Time Scape Sequencer by Arius Blaze

Youtube description - First, thank you for the support of FOLKTEK and be sure to check our blog where you can keep up with our doings if you feel: folktek.blogspot.com...New work by Arius Blaze. This piece allows for thousands of methods of automated sample fuqwithing. Everything from sample stutters, granulation, modulation and bursts of noise etc. Of course it also doubles as a very sweet dub style echo. The range is insane and could not be captured proper in our short videos. In the videos, for the most part, the patches are set according to what I had been playing with prior. The keys are patchable and each part of the sequence is patchable. Time range is from .005 to about 5.5 sec with a noticably lower quality toward about the 3.5 sec mark. This work is expensive but it is also available. More photos and more info on the blog and the site

Time machine by folktek = video1 arius blaze and ben houston

Youtube description -This is a time machine by folktek - arius blaze and ben houston - see folktek.com and ariusblaze.com = sampling based remix machine...Here we captured a single sample "kill em when they get a certain age" added bits from another track that was randomly playing next on the mp3 player, looped it and played the keys. All of the keys are patched to points on the upper patch bay section. The patch bay is magnetic and requires no plugging, just placing the cable ends on whatever patch point you like. the sound quality is terrible, the video is not great, but until a new professional video comes, this is it. this is one of two videos up now.
